[0027] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances. Example

[0028] like Figure 1-4As shown, the present application proposes a drainage structure for an outdoor unit of a household air conditioner, comprising a drainage hose 1, an extension tube 2 is plugged into the output end of the drainage hose 1, and an arc portion 5 is provided at the junction between the upper end of the extension tube 2 and the inner wall of the drainage hose 1, so that the water in the drainage hose 1 can be smoothly discharged into the extension tube 2, avoiding water accumulation at the junction between the drainage hose 1 and the extension tube 2. The extension tube 2 is provided as a plastic hard tube, which plays a guiding role when plugged in. An annular hollow cylinder 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the output end of the drainage hose 1, and a support ring 4 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the bottom end of the annular hollow cylinder 3, an extrusion member 6 is provided on the annular hollow cylinder 3, and an expansion member 7 is provided on the inner side of the support ring 4; the annular hollow cylinder 3 is filled with a foam expansion agent 8, and the foam expansion agent 8 is a prior art product, and its composition is not limited here. The extrusion member 6 includes an annular pressing plate 61 slidably arranged in the annular hollow cylinder 3, and the expansion member 7 includes a capsule 71 connected to the inner wall of the support ring 4. The foam expansion agent 8 is squeezed into the capsule 71 by pressing the annular pressing plate 61, so that the capsule 71 expands and is closely attached to the outer wall of the external drainage pipe. The inner ring of the capsule 71 is provided with an anti-skid protrusion 9 (the anti-skid protrusion 9 is made of silicone), and the capsule 71 is annular. After the capsule 71 expands, its inner ring is closely attached to the outer wall of the external drainage pipe. By providing the anti-skid protrusion 9, the connection between the expanded capsule 71 and the external drainage pipe is more stable. The capsule 71 is made of elastic plastic material and is located outside the external drainage pipe when installed and connected. It is only closely attached to the outer wall of the external drainage pipe after filling and expansion.

[0029] Specifically, a feeding hole 72 is provided on the side of the capsule 71 close to the annular hollow cylinder 3, so that the annular hollow cylinder 3 is connected to the capsule 71. A diaphragm 73 is provided in the feeding hole 72. The feeding hole 72 can be set to be circular, rectangular or arc-shaped. The diaphragm 73 is a thin film that is easy to be squeezed and broken. The upper end of the annular hollow cylinder 3 is slidably connected with a plurality of transmission rods 62. The upper ends of the plurality of transmission rods 62 are commonly connected with a pressing plate 63. The pressing plate 63 is arc-shaped or annular and is located outside the drainage hose 1. The bottom ends of the plurality of transmission rods 62 are fixedly connected to the annular pressing plate 61. The annular pressing plate 61 and the lower part of the inner part of the annular hollow cylinder 3 form a closed space. When the annular pressing plate 61 is pressed down, the diaphragm 73 is smoothly squeezed and broken under the joint extrusion of the air pressure and the foam expansion agent 8, so that the foam expansion agent 8 is pressed into the capsule 71.

[0030] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the application connects the extension tube 2 to the inner wall of the output end of the drainage hose 1, and during installation, the extension tube 2 is inserted into the external drainage pipe (a vertical main drainage pipe is provided on the outer wall of the residential building, and the air conditioning drainage pipe of each household can be inserted into the main drainage pipe). After the extension tube 2 is inserted into the external drainage pipe, the pressing plate 63 is pressed downward to drive the transmission rod 62 to move downward, and finally the annular pressing plate 61 is driven to move downward, so that the foam expansion agent 8 inside the annular hollow cylinder 3 is squeezed into the capsule 71 through the feed hole 72 (the diaphragm 73 will be squeezed first when the annular pressing plate 61 moves downward); when the capsule 71 is filled with the foam expansion agent 8, the capsule 71 will swell, thereby tightly attached to the outer wall of the external drainage pipe, so that the output end of the drainage hose 1 is positioned at the input end of the external drainage pipe, to prevent the output end of the drainage hose 1 from being separated from the external drainage pipe due to the influence of the external environment, so that the drainage hose 1 can be stably connected and the drainage is completed smoothly.

[0031] The above-mentioned specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present application. Based on the technical solutions of the present application and the relevant inspirations of the above-mentioned embodiments, those skilled in the art may make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above-mentioned specific embodiments. The above-mentioned specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present application, and they are not limitations of the present application.
